Serotonin reuptake inhibition combined with the action targeting 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor subtypes can serve as a potential target for the development of antidepressant drugs. Herein a series of new aralkyl piperazines and piperidines were designed and synthesized by the structural modifications of the previously discovered aralkyl piperidine compound 1, targeting SSRI/5-HT/5-HT. The results exhibited that compound 5a showed strong binding to 5-HT and 5-HT (K of 0.46 nM, 2.7 nM, respectively) and a high level of serotonin reuptake inhibition (IC of 1.9 nM), all of which were significantly elevated compared to 1. In particular, compound 5a showed weaker inhibitory activity against hERG than 1, and demonstrated good stability in liver microsomes in vitro. The preliminary screening using FST indicated that orally administered 5a, at a high dose, could reduce immobility time in mice markedly, indicating potential antidepressant activity.

A series of novel 1-(1-benzoylpiperidin-4-yl) methanamine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for the serotonin reuptake inhibitory abilities and binding affinities to the 5-HT receptor. The metabolic stabilities of these compounds were measured in vitro using human or mouse liver microsomes and the antidepressant activities were explored In vivo using the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) in mice. The results indicated that the compound 12a exhibited strongest serotonin reuptake inhibition (IC = 8.

A series of novel alkoxy-piperidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their serotonin reuptake inhibitory and binding affinities for 5-HT/5-HT receptors. In vivo antidepressant activities of the selective compounds were explored using the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) in mice. The results showed that compounds 7a (reuptake inhibition (RUI), IC = 177 nM; 5-HT, K = 12 nM; 5-HT, K = 25 nM) and 15g (RUI, IC = 85 nM; 5-HT, K = 17 nM; 5-HT, K = 35 nM) were potential antidepressant agents in animal behavioral models with high 5-HT/5-HT receptor affinities and moderate serotonin reuptake inhibition, and good metabolic stability in vitro.

Hypidone hydrochloride (YL-0919), is a novel structural antidepressant candidate as a triple selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI), 5-HT partial agonist and 5-HT agonist. Here, we investigated the rapid onset antidepressant-like effects of YL-0919 and the possible mechanism in rats exposed to a chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) paradigm. In the CUS rats, it was found that fluoxetine (FLX, 10 mg/kg) treatment exerted antidepressant actions on 20-22d, while YL-0919 or vilazodone (VLZ, a dual 5-HT partial agonist and SSRI) administrated once daily exerted faster antidepressant-like behaviors [4 days in the sucrose preference test (SPT) and 6 days in the novelty suppressed feeding test (NSF)].
